2How long, O Lord, wilt Thou forget me for ever?

How long wilt Thou hide Thy face from me?

3How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart by day?

How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

4Behold Thou, and answer me, O Lord my God;

Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;

5Lest mine enemy say: ‘I have prevailed against him’;

Lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

6But as for me, in Thy mercy do I trust;

My heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation.

7I will sing unto the Lord,

Because He hath dealt bountifully with me.
